From Our Family to Yours: Standing With You After the Storm

To our cherished clients and neighbors,

In the wake of the devastating storms that swept through the St. Louis region and Metro East Illinois on May 16, our hearts are heavy with concern and compassion. The tornado that tore through our communities claimed at least five lives in St. Louis and damaged over 5,000 properties, leaving a profound impact on areas like Clayton, University City, the Central West End, and North St. Louis . The storm's path extended into Metro East Illinois, affecting towns such as Granite City, where schools and neighborhoods suffered significant damage .

The destruction has been staggering: homes leveled, trees uprooted, vehicles overturned, and beloved landmarks like Centennial Christian Church partially collapsed . In Granite City, Prather Elementary School experienced roof damage, and power outages disrupted daily life . The resilience of our community is being tested, but we have no doubt in our collective strength to rebuild and recover.

At TRG Homes, we want you to know that we are here for you—not just in business, but as fellow members of this community. If you need assistance with cleanup efforts, require recommendations for trusted contractors or repair services, or simply need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our network includes professionals experienced in storm recovery, and we're committed to connecting you with the resources you need.

We also encourage you to stay informed through official channels. The City of St. Louis has declared a state of emergency and implemented a nightly curfew to ensure safety and facilitate recovery efforts. Additionally, please be aware that several roads remain closed in the St. Louis area as crews work tirelessly to restore power and clear widespread debris. In Metro East Illinois, local authorities are coordinating relief efforts to support affected residents. Staying connected with these updates can provide guidance and assistance during this challenging time.

Please remember, you're not alone. Our team is dedicated to supporting you now and in the days ahead. Together, we will navigate the path to recovery, drawing strength from our shared commitment to community and resilience.
